John Mann

Uk's Number One International Organist - Pianist - Entertainer

Appreciation Society

Honorary secretary: Sarah Bryant

This is an International Society for those with a love of music and, particularly, music played "The John Mann Way".

It was formed in March 1981 and has gone from strength to strength with a growing membership. We have an annual tea party with John during his Summer Season, last year on the 25th September at Eastbourne following John's afternoon show, and was extra special to celebrate John's 60 years in showbusiness.

This year (2017) was possibly John's last time playing at Eastbourne, and we rounded off the day with our annual get-together once more which was a great success although very emotional. A day to remember for everyone who was there.

2011 was the 30th anniversary of the Society, and we had a special event over three days at Eastbourne in September to celebrate this remarkable milestone. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to get together, enjoy John's music, and have a very enjoyable few days with friends old and new.

We issue a quarterly magazine giving details of John's forthcoming concerts,recordings and special events. John writes a newsy Personal Message. There are letters and articles by the members about their enjoyment of John's music and concerts, photographs and an important feature is an instalment of John's Life Story written by himself (space permitting).

Over the years many friendships have been formed and each concert is a social gathering of members. We have members in France, Holland, Germany and Canada.
